Can you be a Christian and not be a disciple of Christ? Is there a minimum belief requirement to make it into heaven? I often wonder about these questions but I also wonder how judging and critical I become when thinking about these issues. The prodigal son knew his father loved him, and returned to the father’s embrace. But Scripture is clear about the consequences of a cheap view of what God has clearly done through Christ.
“The greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who…are identified as “Christians” will become disciples—students, apprentices, practitioners—of Jesus Christ, steadily learning from him how to live the life of the Kingdom of the Heavens into every corner of human existence.” - John Mark Comer, Practicing the Way
